==Family== The Greek personification of strife and discord, [[Eris (mythology)|Eris]], according to [[Hesiod]]'s ''[[Theogony]]'', is the daughter of [[Nyx]] (Night) with no father.<ref>Gantz, pp. 4–5; [[Hesiod]], ''[[Theogony]]'' [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-theogony/2018/pb_LCL057.21.xml 223–225].</ref> Similarly, according to the ''[[Fabulae]]'', Discordia is the daughter of Nox (Night), although it gives her father as [[Erebus]].<ref>Bloch, [https://referenceworks-brill-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/display/entries/NPOE/e321400.xml s.v. Discordia]; [[Hyginus (Fabulae)|Hyginus]], ''[[Fabulae]]'' Theogony 1.2–6.</ref> The ''Fabulae'' lists many siblings of Discord, similar to but different from the list of siblings of Eris as given by Hesiod. For example both are siblings of "Old Age" (the Greek [[Geras]] and Roman Senecus), "Death" (the Greek [[Thanatos]] and Roman [[Mors (mythology)|Mors]]), the [[Fates]] (the Greek [[Moirai]] and Roman [[Parcae]]), and [[Nemesis]] ("Indignation").<ref>[[Hesiod]], ''[[Theogony]]'' [https://www.loebclassics.com/view/hesiod-theogony/2018/pb_LCL057.21.xml 211–225].</ref> However while the siblings of Eris are all negative personified abstractions,<ref>Hard, [https://books.google.com/books?id=r1Y3xZWVlnIC&pg=PA30 p. 31].</ref> some of Discordia's are positive, such as [[Euphrosyne]] ("Cheerfulness"), and [[Amicitia]] ("Friendship"), while others are not personified abstractions at all, such as the [[Giants (Greek mythology)|Giant]] [[Porphyrion]], or [[Styx]], the goddess and river of the Underworld. Also unlike Eris, Discordia has no children.
